Podcast Options in iTunes

Video Transcript

"DREW NOAH: So, before I move on and continue talking about the iTunes store and everything that you can buy or get for free in there, since we just talked about how to find a good, free content in the form of video or audio podcasts, quickly I want to show you how that works in your iTunes. As we've been going through, I've shown you how to buy movies, that's where they end up, I've shown you how to buy TV shows, that's where they'll end up. When you download a podcast, that's going to end up in your little Podcasts section right here. And this is what they look like. I've got a number of podcasts. Each one of these is a podcast and then if you click the little down arrow, you can see all the episodes. This is one of my favorites, "Never Not Funny". I'm just giving you an example. These little blue dots on the side means they are episodes you have not listened to. So, you can see--I obviously haven't been keeping up with most of these 'cause there's episodes I won't listen to in all of them. And then when you click the down arrow, it'll show you each episode that's not listened to with the little blue dot. And later on, I'm going to show you how to sync your iPod. This will come in handy because you can set up your iPod to only add new episodes. So, you've got some information here. You see these are explicit. There would be a little TV symbol if it were video, you got your time, date it was released and then a description. So, when I'm getting podcasts--so here's the one that--remember earlier, I clicked on this one. I downloaded this podcast right here. So, this is just an episode. That's all I got. If I wanted subscribe to the whole podcast like I watched this video and I liked it, I could click 'Subscribe' right here and what it does is--this is actually the latest episode. If this wasn't, it will automatically download the latest episode and then bring all these up just like they are and I could just get each one or I can go up here and hit 'Get All' and it will download all of these. So, you can go around, find videos you like and then if you decide you really like a podcast, you probably want to subscribe to it and you can get all the old episodes and all the new episodes. It will download it automatically for you. Just a little bit more about your Podcasts section right here, you got some section down here to unsubscribe from a podcast or actually, you can see the subscribe button right here and it's down here as well or I can unsubscribe from what I'm already subscribed to ] and also set the settings for each Podcast and when to check for new episodes and then when your episodes are available, what to do. 'Download all', download the most recent or 'Do nothing' and keep all episodes or you can have it--keep only on played and once you play the podcast, it will delete it. Keep the most recent or the last two, three, four, five or ten. So, that's kind of up to you and what you want to do. There's also this 'Report a Concern' link and 'Podcast Directory' and 'Refresh'. So, that's the Podcasts section of iTunes."
